marikun Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hello Geocachers! I am a somewhat new cacher and I would like to buy a GPS, however I am on a pretty limited budget. Most of the units I see in this forum go for over $100, which is possible but really not feasible for me at this time. For the few caches I've found I've used or attempted to use Google Maps/Google Earth but I would really like a GPS of my own. What's the cheapest you can buy a used GPS for? Quote Link to comment
BBH Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I wold recommend looking on your local craigslist, or keeping an eye out here. I've found some great deals out there, you just have to look. I bought my Colorado for an outstanding price, as well as several other units. I travel for work and usually check out the local craigslist of where I will be traveling to see if I can find any good deals. I've bought 10 or so GPSr's this way, as well as several other items's such as TV's, computer equipment and so on. My local craigslist has the most GPSr's of the cities I travel to. Maybe it's because Garmin is located here. I think currently there are several yellow etrex, as well as a great deal on a legend for $60. That's where I'd start. Quote Link to comment
A.B.E.L. Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I second trying your local craigslist, I bought my first GPSr off craigslist. I managed to pickup a Garmin eTrex Venture for $35! Quote Link to comment
mrloring Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I just picked up my Garmin Etrex Legend on Ebay for $66 shipped. It came with everything in the original box. Quote Link to comment
+Wild Thing 73 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Those are really good buys....But if you really want something (GPS receiver) you will find a way to obtain one...Right? The other person does not need to know....Go for it...GFI Quote Link to comment
John Beer Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 If you can find a Mio c310 it brings me right to the cache, and is great for the roads also.. Quote Link to comment
+slabslr Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have a plain Garmin ETex with data cable for $60 if your interested. Quote Link to comment
The_Brownies Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Do you have a newer Pocket PC or Palm? By a GPS attachment off ebay. Then you have the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment
